Former Tenant Arrears

Hello,

I am investigating ways of minimsing losses from former tenant arrears and thus I would be very grateful for some advice on how other local authorities tackle this issue. Do you take legal action on former tenants or do you write-off arrears if they are not paid? Perhaps you seek legal advice if the debt be significant and if so what value do you consider to be significant?

Any response would be much appreciated.

Regards
